}Upload message attachment
Upload a file to attach to a LinkedIn message (used with POST /conversations/send). Send the file as the RAW binary request body — do NOT use multipart/form-data. Set the request `Content-Type` header to the file's actual MIME type, and pass `accountId` and `filename` in the query string. To make an image render inline as a photo in the conversation, the `Content-Type` MUST be an image type (`image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/gif`, `image/webp`) — this uploads it as a LinkedIn photo asset. Any other content type is stored as a downloadable file attachment. The response's `attachment` object must then be passed to POST /conversations/send wrapped in a `file` key: `{ "attachments": [{ "file": <attachment> }] }`. Example: `curl -X POST "https://api.connectsafely.ai/linkedin/conversations/upload-attachment?accountId=acc_123&filename=photo.png" -H "Authorization: Bearer <api_key>" -H "Content-Type: image/png" --data-binary @photo.png`
